Kiva Beach
Posted on August 13, 2008
Kiva Beach is one of the harder to find beaches, just because of the lack of signs. It’s located just north of Camp Richardson in Lake Tahoe.
Turn right at the Forest Service Visitor Center turnoff and follow the road past the Visitor’s Center (this is also the parking for the stream profile chamber) to the beach parking lot.
There is a short walk to the beach, but the parking is free. You can also park at the Visitor’s Center and enjoy a longer walk (not quite a hike) along the meadow to Kiva Beach (no dogs on this trail though).
The beach itself is a huge flat sandy plain that lies at the mouth of Taylor Creek. The water however, is a bit rocky until you get a little ways out. You can go out a long way, though.
There are fantastic views of the surrounding mountains, especially Mount Tallac. mid summer you will find large blooms of Blue Pod Lupine among other wildflowers. Source: AboutLakeTahoe.com
